Check out this video of an Audi RS7, with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and all-wheel drive, nail a mid-10-second quarter mile with only minor performance enhancements. In case you are wondering, the car in the right lane (opposite the Audi) is a late-model Mustang and it got “smoked”. Honestly, with a price tag of just over $100,000 the Audi sports sedan should be able to handle most Mustangs, even without tuning help. The RS7 is rated at 553-horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in only 3.7-seconds with a top speed Read More

The first batch of all new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 cars equipped with the 8 speed automatic transmission are starting to hit the drag strips with the first one running an impressive 10.7-10.8 @ 129-131 MPH. This Z06 was running a set of Mickey Thompson Drag Radials helping it get off the line very well with 1.6x short times. The weather was optimal at Orlando Speed World for these runs with a DA of -1200. For comparison, the best time we’ve seen so far for the manual transmission Z06 was 10.9 @ 127 MPH done few weeks ago on the stock Michelin Pilot Cup Read More

Take a look at a new Corvette Z06 trying to chase down a McLaren P1 at the Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas. It’s pretty amazing to watch the McLaren P1 with it’s 903HP 3.8L V8 Twin Turbo along with a electric motor absolutely leave the Z06 like it’s standing still on the straights. During a few moments in the video the Corvette gets a bit too close for comfort to the $1.2M hyper car. We would certainly be giving the P1 it’s space and respect for being on the track with ‘normal’ cars. The video was taken from the Read More

Dodge’s Challenger Hellcat is at it again taking on a new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 for a few races in this video filmed by BadBowtieProducitons. Both cars are running 6.2L Supercharged V8 engines with the Z06 producing 650HP and the Hellcat putting out 707HP. While the Z06 has a clear power to weight advantage with 5.4 pounds per HP vs the Hellcat’s 6.2 pounds per HP, the Hellcat is putting that power down through an 8 speed automatic transmission vs the 7 speed manual transmission in the Z06. The result as you can see below is a toss up, which each car Read More

It’s been a long time coming but here is a video of a new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in all stock form running well into the 10’s. This Z06 is equipped with the Z07 package which includes a set of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires along with a host of other aerodynamic enhancements as well as carbon ceramic brakes. With some great weather and driving the Z06 ran an impressive 10.901 @ 127.08 MPH at Palm Beach International Raceway. The sticky Michelins certainly helped with a great 1.66 60′ time, most of the runs we’ve seen so far with the regular Michelin tires were in the Read More

Watch a 707HP Dodge Challenger Hellcat take on the 700HP Lamobrighini Aventador during a roll race. While the horsepower numbers are similar at around 700HP each, the Hellcat carries an additional 400 pounds of weight over the Aventador. However, that weight penalty doesn’t seem to matter as per the video. While it’s a close race, you can clearly the Aventaor’s single clutch 7 speed ISR transmission holding the car back. Of course this was the Hellcat’s race, a roll race, negating the Aventador’s all wheel drive launching capabilities which allow 0-60 MPH in under 3 seconds, something the Hellcat can’t handle unless it’s Read More

Insane mode in the Tesla Model S P85 is all fun and games until loose items you might have in the car go flying around and break due to the instant torque and g-forces measuring 1.3 g. We’ve heard multiple reports of cracked phone screens that flew out of the center console and crashed into the center armrest. Check out the video below in regular and slow motion to see what happens when a few miscellaneous items along with some fruit go flying around in the car. If you try this at home, make sure you kids are properly protected with quick reaction skills or a face mask.

This 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale set a new record for a stock Gallardo racing down the 1/4 mile running an impressive 11.1 @ 132 MPH. To reduce aerodynamic drag the large Super Trofeo wing was removed which bumped up the trap speeds from 127 MPH to 132 MPH and dropped about 1/10 of the 1/4 mile ET. The LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale was Lamborghini’s lightest Gallardo produced and weighed in at 3,348 pounds on the track scales even though Lamborghini quotes 2,950 pounds. That puts the power to weight ratio at 5.8 pounds per HP for the STS, the same Read More

Here is another race from our StreetCarDrags event with a brand new McLaren 650S Spider taking on a Nissan GT-R. The McLaren is powered by a 3.8L V8 Twin Turbo engine producing 641HP though a 7 speed dual clutch transmission. The GT-R has a 3.8L V6 with 545HP and a 6 speed dual clutch transmission. With both cars spinning off the line the power to weight ratio is clear with the 3,200 pound 650S running 10.8 @ 133 MPH while the 3,700 pound GT-R ran 11.8 @ 119 MPH. While both cars didn’t put up great times, this is actually one of Read More
